Therapists in Pantego, TX

Reaching out for help can be a very scary thing! You are making a positive first step in getting the help you or your child/adolescent needs. I hope to provide a caring, safe environment where trust can be built so healing can begin. I want to help you or your child/adolescent overcome the challenges and stress of life by listening, showing care and compassion and strengthening your coping skills.

I truly believe in the statement: "A calm and undisturbed heart and mind are the life and health of the body..." I understand dealing with hard times. It is my goal to help people live and achieve more satisfying lives. Whether you are dealing with anger, feeling disconnected, marital / relationship issues, anxiety, depression, loneliness, chemical/ alcohol dependency, family, or teen & adolescent issues, seeking professional help is always a start to making changes and growth.

What do you need in your toolkit to address life circumstances that feel overwhelming? I believe my role as a therapist is not only to stand with you in the struggle, but to help you recognize and tap into strengths you may not be aware you have, and then assist you in developing new skills that can help you heal and grow. It can be intimidating to begin the work of self-exploration, but the treasures of discovering how capable you truly are will impact your life in ways you didn’t know were possible.

Feelings of stress and imbalance are common place in our rapidly evolving world; restoring balance to our lives can be that positive change we seek to reclaim a sense of peace. Collaboratively, clients and I can work together to rehabilitate thoughts, actions, and feelings to bring about positive change in a welcoming and confidential environment. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor; I am also a certified educator and school counselor with 15 years experience. I have counseling experience in early childhood development, teen and women's issues, depression, anger and stress management, individual, marriage and family counseling.

My dream is to see my clients discover their purpose, restore their identity, and heal from past pain. As a mental health coach and pastoral counselor, my goal is to help people shift from living in pain to embracing wholeness and purpose. Over the past 7 years, the care I have provided to my clients has impacted their lives, their family systems, and their future. I counsel and coach from an authentic, yet nurturing perspective. I keep it real and help propel people to greatness through connection and individualization. I use my diverse legal, theological, and mental health background to help my clients go from hurt to whole.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults who are dealing with life issues that result in depression, anger, and an inability to function in their daily lives. I also enjoy working with couples and families. I believe that families function as a system and when one family member is out of sync, the entire family is disrupted. In my practice, I see children as young as 3 years of age. Play is the "language of the child" and Play Therapy allows children to work through their issues in a non-threatening environment.

As a dedicated elementary teacher I noticed many families with unmet mental health needs. As I observed their struggles, my zeal for instruction adapted from the classroom to the therapy office.

Every person experiences hurdles in life, some of which leave one needing assistance. Whether your current difficulties are large or small, new or life long, I can help. Focusing on your specific needs, I will work with you toward your own goals. Whether you come as an individual, a couple, or a family, healthy relationships are the goal so we will work toward healthy relationships with self, with family and friends, and within community. In addition to my therapy skills, I am a comprehensive sexuality educator and have worked extensively with youth for many years. Every person is treated with respect and dignity here.
